Schizachyrium scoparium 'The Blues'

Little bluestem is a low maintenance, drought-tolerant North American native grass that can be enjoyed virtually all year. The broom like clumps of thin leaves are tinted blue until fall when they develop masking shades of purple. Purplish-bronze flowers appear in 3" long racemes rising above the foliage in August. Fluffy silver seed heads appear in late summer and last well into fall.

Prefers full sun and well drained soil with minimal water applications. Grows to 3' tall.
